- After going off to school, Frankenstein becomes fascinated with the creation of life. He begins his studies in anatomy and death. “After days and nights of incredible labor and fatigue, I succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and life; nay, more, I became capable of bestowing animation on the lifeless matter” (Shelly, chapter 4). With his studies completed, he begins to assemble his creature. With hope, the creation brings new beginnings.
- After several months of construction, Victor finishes his creature. Though when the creature awakes, it horrifies Frankenstein. “I saw the dull yellow eye of the monster open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated it's limbs…the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room” (Shelly, chapter 5).
- Soon to follow, Victor becomes ill from the long months of work and the horrific sight he endured. Lucky enough, he runs into his dear friend Henry Clerval who nursed him back to health over a few months.

He looks upon the spot his brother's body was discovered. That's when he notices the monster lurking. He blames the murder on the demand.
